Humpback whales have arrived and moved in close to our Islands. This season we have sighted  7 new mother and calf pairs and some new whales not noted in our area have also been identified. Our regular visitors are showing up also and each one is like seeing an old friend after a long time apart. We have also sighted a mother and calf Right whale swimming through our harbour. These are the most endangered whales in our area. The population is about 400 so it was nice to see a couple of mother and calves doing so well. Just by coincidence the same day we sighted the mother and calf Right whales swimming in the harbour I was riding in the Bay of Fundy Whale car with Terri McCullough. As if on cue I bellowed to Terri, STOP THE WHALE CAR! I SEE A RIGHT WHALE IN THE HARBOUR! Terri has been promoting the Bay of Fundy in a customized design she created with the talented people she made it into a reality. With this ingenious marketing idea Terri is visiting areas all around the Bay of Fundy taking in the sights and answering peoples questions about the Bay of Fundy and what treasures can be found by visiting and experiencing life along the Bay of Fundy shores.
